Re: KDE 2.2beta1 impressions
Yep, I do know that... Which is why when I thought it was my personal conf, I 'mv .kde .kdebackup'ed instead of 'rm -fR .kde'. When that didn't fix anything, I moved it right back. I can test software *and* keep my config :-P David On Fri, Jun 29, 2001 at 03:40:22PM -0500, Tom Joseph wrote: > That's true but part of the territory when testing software - I just > assumed everyone would know that... > > --Tom Joseph > > On Fri, 29 Jun 2001, Andre Alexander Bell wrote: > > > On Friday, 29.

Re: KDE 2.2beta1 impressions
All ready tried that, didn't help. But I also have a lot of left-over packages from ald versions of kde lying around, and want to make sure that everything is "latest and greatest", which apt-get normally handles really well, but doesn't cover all possible bases (for instance, I still have obsoleted packages installed like aktion, which by itself won't cause the problems I am having, but there are others like it). IOW, it's not the per-user stuff that is crashing me :-) And looking back at my email s/settings/packages/.

Re: KDE 2.2beta1 impressions
The konsole now defaults to having no history, so it's not the keys, you just need to go into the settings and set the history from "1" to whatever (usually 1000 for me). I don't remember exactly which menu it's in, and I just finished uninstalling everything having to do with kde in an attempt to "reinitialize" all my settings, and haven't gotten around to reinstalling yet :-) Dunno about arts HTH, D.A.Bishop On Fri, Jun 29, 2001 at 07:26:20PM +0200, Stephan Jaensch wrote: > Hi, > > > first of all, great work with the 2.2beta1 packages, Ivan!

KDE 2.2beta1 impressions
Hi, first of all, great work with the 2.2beta1 packages, Ivan! Keep up the excellent work! Now, for the bugs I have found... :-) arts alsa support seems to be linked against alsa 0.5. If I try to start artsd with alsa support it just segfaults. Since this is unstable, I think artsd should be linked against alsa-0.9. However, when I tried compiling KDE on my own this failed, so some source modifications are needed... Second, pageup/pagedown/home/end do not work anymore in konsole. Seems like the old problem we had some time ago... That's all! Everything else works just as expected! Ciao...
kdm preinst
ok...if I don't get a fixed package up in time of today's install run this is a workaround for the preinst bug in kdm. rm -rf /etc/X11/kdm/authdir that *should* take care of it...if you have already installed it and it failed just rm -rf /etc/X11/kdm everything is under /etc/kde2/kdm now..the preinst should have copied or moved things over however the authdir I think fubar'd things...

Create new users in a special way
Hello! Perhaps my question is not too difficult for you to answer: I want to create more than 5000 new users on my system. Because there are 5000 users who already got their password, that means for me: I already got the complete files /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow on my system. Now I want to create /home/directories in the way the programm "adduser" create /home/directories /copying files from /etc/skel and copy them in user's home directory, and so on. Now my question: I don't want to type in every information on each user while executing "adduser", because "adduser" asks for the password, the user's identity - these should be ignored. For me it would be easy to type in one command (which can be filled by the information that is given from the file /etc/passwd) , perhaps with "adduser" and lots of options, but without typing the information by hand. The rest should be automatically generated. Perhaps you have some nice ideas on that. Hope you understand my English - thanks. Heide
